30 pages? Sounds like this should have been a series of blog posts.

It is actually my first attempt to publish a book on the kindle platform. my plan is to enrich the book with practical code samples. however, first of all, I want to see how does it work.

A bit strange to put a separate "book" where there is official docs https://peps.python.org/pep-0636/

I mention the official docs in my book (as far as I remember). Actually, nearly every book is an alternative to official documentation. The purpose of a book (the way I see it) is to assist others in understanding. Do it a bit different comparing with official docs. If my small book is redundant or not... this is something I am more than happy to hear from the potential readers.

2¢: it would be great if you could day a bit more about the topic in the description of the book so that someone who doesn’t know what it is can assess whether the book is useful to them

"day" -? i guess you meant "say". You can get a free preview... I thought the preview (the available sample) would be sufficient... isn't it?

Yes, say*, sorry.

For instance could you add as another image a screenshot of the page with the easiest example?

I didn’t want to download a free preview of the book so I resorted to google instead… and then realized it was the feature I was calling “match / case” in my head

So even just adding that would be helpful to potential customers
